EU Grants and Loans

Sharon Hodgson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment he has made of the European Commission consultation on the European School Milk and Fruit and Vegetable Schemes.

David Heath: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I provided her with on 7 March 2013, Official Report, column 1169W, and to the hon. Member for Sittingbourne and Sheppey (Gordon Henderson), on 20 March 2013, Official Report, column 706W.

Food: Inspections

Barry Gardiner: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how frequently his Department undertakes reviews of the available sampling and testing capacity for food standards and food hygiene.

Anna Soubry: I have been asked to reply 
	on behalf of the Department of Health.
	The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is the central competent authority for food safety and has a statutory function under the Food Standards Art 1999 to protect public health and consumers' other interests in relation to food and drink. The majority of food law enforcement is delegated to local authorities throughout the United Kingdom who carry out checks of all food businesses in their area to ensure compliance with food safety/traceability and labelling requirements. Local authority food sampling responsibilities are set out in the statutory Food Law Code of Practice (separate parallel Codes of Practice exist for each of the four UK countries), as part of which they are required to develop an annual sampling programme for their area and provide the resources necessary to carry it out.
	The FSA monitors arrangements to make sure that there is adequate provision for local authority sampling and analysis as part of an annual process, whereby the FSA reports on the UK's performance in carrying out regulatory controls, as set out in the National Control Plan required under the EC Official Feed and Food Regulation 882/2004.
	In addition, the FSA identifies priorities each year for the national co-ordinated food sampling programme, carried out by local authorities funded by the FSA. The priorities take into account consumer and public health protection, are risk and evidence based and intelligence-led. The priorities are published on the FSA's website.

River Thames

Kwasi Kwarteng: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment he has made of recent changes in navigation charges levied by the Environment Agency on vessels on the River Thames and the comparative effects of such changes on the owners of larger and smaller vessels.

Richard Benyon: The recent change in navigation charges levied by the Environment Agency on privately owned boats on the River Thames followed consultation with customer representatives. It comprises an increased charge for 2013-14 of 4.6%, in accordance with the three-year charging plan of the consumer price index, plus 2%.
	The effect of this flat rate increase varies with the size of each boat. The charge is levied based on boat area (length by breadth) so the increase is proportionate to boat size.
	The Environment Agency has adjusted the price this year for the largest boats. They now pay 40% less than the normal charge for every square metre over 80 square metres. The Environment Agency has received positive feedback from customers about it. Owners of smaller boats accept the increase, although they do not welcome it. They have stated that they do not want the Environment Agency to adjust the charges to benefit larger boats without considering their charges too.
	DEFRA is considering transferring the Environment Agency navigations to the Canal and River Trust (CRT) subject to affordability and the agreement of the CRT's trustees. While this is under consideration, it is not appropriate for the Environment Agency fundamentally to review and change its boat registration regime. This is something CRT would need to review.

Porton Down: Animal Experiments

Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of the hon. Member for Ludlow of 12 February 2013, Official Report, column 634W, on Porton Down: animal experiments, what the (a) species and (b) ages of the animals used for experiment at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory Porton Down facility were.

Philip Dunne: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 29 January 2013, Official Report, column 742W, to the hon. Member for Portsmouth South (Mr Hancock).
	There is no Home Office requirement to return the ages of the animals therefore this information is not recorded.

Rescue Services

Alan Beith: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether Ministry of Defence police inquiries into the abandoned search and rescue helicopter contract have been completed; and if he will make a statement.

Philip Dunne: The Ministry of Defence police investigation into the search and rescue helicopter contract is currently at an advanced stage. It would, therefore be inappropriate to disclose any information at this time.
	I will write to the right hon. Member when the investigation is completed, with the information requested.
	Substantive answer from Mr Philip Dunne to Sir Alan Beith:
	I undertook to write to you in answer to your Parliamentary Question on 29(th) November 2012 (Official Report, column 462W) about the Ministry of Defence Police investigation into the Search and Rescue Helicopter contract. I apologise that it has taken so long to reply.
	I can confirm that the Ministry of Defence Police investigation has now ended. The police investigation, which was thorough, wide ranging and proportionate, concluded that no further police action was warranted.

Electoral Register

Jim Shannon: To ask the Prime Minister if he will introduce compulsory electoral registration.

Chloe Smith: I have been asked to reply 
	on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
	The Government believes that the act of registering to vote is a civic duty, but does not believe it is appropriate to criminalise people for not registering to vote.
	The existing criminal offence of not providing information to an electoral registration officer (ERO) when required to do so, for example on a household canvass form, will remain under individual electoral registration.
	It is not currently an offence not to be registered in the UK, and this will not change under IER.
	Under IER, Electoral Registration Officers will be able to issue a civil penalty when individuals fail to make an application when they are required to do so. This means that if an individual repeatedly refuses to make an application a registration officer can require them to make an application to register to vote. Failure to make an application at this stage could lead to a civil penalty being issued.
	There will be safeguards in place to ensure that only those who refuse repeated invitations can be fined, and registration officers will have to take specific steps to encourage an application, which we will set out in draft secondary legislation, before they can issue a fine.

Asbestos

Stephen McCabe: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what procedures are in place to check and monitor the presence of asbestos in the workplace.

Mark Hoban: The owner, or person responsible for maintenance of a workplace is required to carry out an assessment to determine the presence, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (SI 2012 No. 632). A plan must then be prepared and put into effect to manage the risks from any ACMs present, including ongoing monitoring of their condition.

Asbestos

Stephen McCabe: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many people have died from lung cancer contracted as a result of exposure to asbestos in (a) England and (b) Birmingham in each of the last two years.

Mark Hoban: Lung cancer deaths caused by asbestos are clinically indistinguishable from those caused by other agents such as tobacco smoke, and therefore cannot be directly enumerated. However, it is estimated that about the same number of lung cancer deaths due to asbestos occur each year as mesothelioma deaths, for which detailed statistics are available.
	Statistics for mesothelioma deaths in 2009 and 2010 (the latest two years for which data are available) suggest that there may have been approximately 2000 deaths in England, and approximately 20 deaths in the Birmingham local authority area, due to asbestos related lung cancer in each of these two years.

Computers

John Redwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many (a) desktop computers, (b) laptop computers and (c) tablet devices his Department has purchased in the last two years.

Mark Hoban: The Department for Work and Pensions has contractual arrangements under which it leases desktop and laptop devices from its IT suppliers.
	However, the Department purchased 23 laptops, eight desktop computers and 20 Tablets during 2012-13 for pilots and trial purposes to meet non-standard technical and/or operational needs.

Credit Unions

Stephen Timms: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what steps he is taking to develop credit unions.

Steve Webb: On 27 June 2012, it was announced that the Government will take forward the findings of the Feasibility Study. In particular, DWP have plans to make a further investment in credit unions, subject to a contracting process.
	Our aim is to support the credit union sector to provide financial services for up to 1 million more consumers on lower incomes in a way that will enable credit unions to modernise, expand and become financially sustainable.
	I can confirm that we gave details of our preferred supplier to deliver credit union expansion to the bidding organisations on 31 January. Subject to satisfactory outcomes to discussions with the preferred supplier, we are likely to be in a position to announce the award of the contract in March.

Employment and Support Allowance: Scotland

Eilidh Whiteford: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many fixed length sanctions were imposed on employment and support allowance claimants in Scotland in each month from December 2012 to March 2013.

Mark Hoban: The information as requested is not readily available.
	The sanctions regime for employment support allowance (ESA) claimants in the Work Related Activity Group (WRAG) changed from the beginning of December 2012.
	DWP is aiming to publish the first set of statistics for the new ESA sanctions regime by August 2013. These statistics have been delayed from a May release to allow the new regime to bed-in and to allow sufficient quality assurance.

Housing Benefit: Social Rented Housing

Laurence Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will consider excluding blind and partially-sighted people from the changes to housing benefit eligibility in respect of the spare room subsidy.

Steve Webb: We carefully considered whether it would be feasible to develop exemptions for specific groups. However, it was not possible to design exemptions that could be defined precisely enough in legislation to be simple and efficient to administer.
	Consequently, we have announced the addition of £25 million to the Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) budget from 2013-14. This is specifically intended to support disabled people living in significantly adapted accommodation, including people who are blind or partially-sighted.
	The measure will however be monitored and evaluated over a two-year period from April 2013. Initial findings will be available in 2014 and the final report will be released in late 2015.

Jobcentre Plus

John Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many Jobcentre Plus facilities there are in (a) Glasgow North West constituency, (b) Glasgow, (c) Scotland and (d) the UK.

Mark Hoban: The information is as follows:
	(a) Glasgow North West constituency is served by two Jobcentres. There are (b) 14 serving Glasgow, (c) 94 serving Scotland and (d) 772 covering Great Britain.

Jobseeker's Allowance

Rushanara Ali: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether jobseeker’s allowance claimants will experience a loss of benefit payments if they do not accept an offer of employment on a zero hours contract.

Mark Hoban: Jobseeker’s allowance claimants cannot face sanctions for turning down the offer of a zero hours contract.

Jobseeker's Allowance: Scotland

Eilidh Whiteford: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions 
	(1)  how many fixed length sanctions of (a) high, (b) medium and (c) low level were imposed on jobseeker's allowance claimants in Scotland in each month from October 2012 to March 2013;
	(2)  what proportion of jobseeker's allowance claimants in Scotland were referred to the stricter benefit regime in each month from October 2012 to March 2013;
	(3)  how many sanctions were applied to jobseeker's allowance claimants by each jobcentre in Scotland in each month from October 2012 to February 2013.

Mark Hoban: The information requested is not currently available.
	The official statistics published on the Tabulation Tool contain JSA sanctions and disallowances up to and including 21 October 2012. After this date, new regulations introduced a regime of fixed period sanctions, which replaced the existing sanction rules and moved claimants closer to the sanction regime planned for universal credit in 2013.
	We aim to publish the statistics on this new regime in May 2013 and on a quarterly basis thereafter.

Pensioners: Poverty

Stephen McCabe: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will estimate how many pensioners were living on an income of below 40 per cent of median household earnings in each year since 2010.

Steve Webb: We estimate that out of 11.7 million pensioners 0.5 million were living on an income of below 40% contemporary household income, after housing costs, in 2010-11.
	This estimate is based on Households Below Average Income (HBAI) data sourced from the 2010-11 Family Resources Survey (FRS). This is the most recent data source available.
	The estimate uses disposable household income, adjusted using modified OECD equivalisation factors for household size and composition, to identify those with less than 40% median contemporary household income. Figures have been presented on an After Housing Cost basis.
	All estimates are based on survey data and are therefore subject to a degree of uncertainty. Numbers of pensioners have been rounded to the nearest 100,000.

Personal Independence Payment

John Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to the contribution by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions of 13 November 2012, Official Report, column 75WH, on personal independence payment, what steps he has taken to increase the number of mental and cognitive champions in (a) Scotland and (b) the UK.

Esther McVey: The contracts between the Department for Work and Pensions and the personal independence payment assessment providers, Atos and Capita, stipulate that they must provide mental function champions to give advice and support to health professionals on health conditions and disabilities affecting mental, cognitive, intellectual and behavioural function. These mental functional champions will be for the PIP contract and will therefore be in addition to the mental function champions currently in post in Scotland and the rest of the UK to provide advice to health care professionals conducting work capability assessments.

Personal Independence Payment

John Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what steps he will take to hold assessors to account in the event that personal independence payment applicants were given an incorrect, poor assessment resulting in them receiving an inappropriate recommendation.

Esther McVey: All personal independence payment health professionals must go through a comprehensive training programme and pass an assessment of competence before they can carry out assessments. In addition, they must be approved by the Department's chief medical adviser. A programme of audit will confirm individual health professionals continue to meet these standards.
	Where a health professional's advice is of poor quality and could result in an incorrect decision, the case will fail the audit activity. Where assessors fall below the required standards and do not improve, processes are in place to revoke their approval to carry out assessments.
	In addition, assessment providers must confirm to a rigorous set of performance measures regarding the quality of advice. If the provider fails to deliver against these measures, agreed service credits will be applied. Ultimately the Department has the right to terminate the contract if there is sustained underperformance in a range of areas.

Personal Independence Payment

Sheila Gilmore: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions with reference to the contribution to the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, of 16 November 2011, House of Lords,Official Report, column GC263, what assessment his Department has made of whether (a) Atos and (b) Capita is providing sufficient training in (i) mental, intellectual and cognitive impairments and (ii) autistic spectrum disorders for health professionals who will be carrying out the assessment for the personal independence payment.

Esther McVey: The health professionals who will be carrying out the assessments for personal independence payment will have a broad training in disability analysis, as well as training in specific conditions. This will include training in mental, intellectual and cognitive impairments, and autistic spectrum disorders. The Department for Work and Pensions has reviewed Atos' training materials and is content with them. The Department is currently reviewing Capita's training materials.

Social Security Benefits: Halton

Derek Twigg: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many people resident in Halton constituency have had their benefit sanctioned in each month since April 2012.

Mark Hoban: The information as requested is not readily available for jobseeker’s allowance (JSA) and income support lone parent (ISLP) claimants to 21 October 2012 and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
	The official statistics published on the tabulation tool contain JSA sanctions and disallowances up to and including 21 October 2012. After this date, new regulations introduced a regime of fixed period sanctions, which replaced the existing sanction rules and moved claimants closer to the sanction regime planned for universal credit in 2013.
	We aim to publish the statistics on this new regime in May 2013 and on a quarterly basis thereafter.
	The information as requested is also not readily available for employment support allowance (ESA) claimants.
	The sanctions regime for ESA claimants in the work-related activity group (WRAG) changed from the beginning of December 2012. As a result of the changes to the regime, the Department reviewed its methodology for publishing ESA sanctions official statistics to ensure the publication remains relevant while also seeking to maintain a consistent time series.
	In comparing methodologies to produce statistics relating to the previous sanctions regime with the new regime, an error was discovered, leading to double counting of some sanctions. For this reason, departmental statisticians decided to suspend publication of ESA sanctions statistics based on the current method. Therefore the final set of official statistics relating to the previous sanctions regime, due for publication in February 2013, was cancelled.
	The Department is aiming to publish the first set of statistics for the new ESA sanctions regime by August 2013 alongside a revised historical series and a working paper explaining the differences between the methodologies. These statistics have been delayed from a May release to allow the new regime to bed-in and to allow sufficient quality assurance of the new methodology.

Telephone Services

Richard Burden: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to the answer of 19 March 2013, Official Report, column 658W, on telephone services, whether a UK landline number beginning with 01, 02 or 03 is publicly available as an alternative to the 0800 and 0845 numbers in use by his Department and the agencies for which he is responsible.

Mark Hoban: The Department does not have any UK landline number beginning with 01, 02 or 03 that are publicly available as an alternative to the 0800 and 0845 numbers.
	The Department's numbering policy is kept under review, taking account of any changes to the cost of calling 0845 numbers. Depending on the service provider and the specific contract or call plan in place, many callers would currently pay more to contact the DWP if 0845 services were replaced with 03 numbers. As a result, any change to the policy will need careful consideration.
	The DWP has responded to Ofcom's proposals for the 0845 number range and we await their final report, which is due in April 2013. Once received, we will assess the impact on the costs of calls to our 0800 and 0845 numbers. For information, the proposals do not include any requirement for organisations to replace 0845 numbers. More information on the consultation, including the DWP's response, is available via Ofcom's website:
	www.ofcom.org.uk

Lobbying

Caroline Lucas: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister pursuant to the answer of 26 March 2013, Official Report, column 1057W, on lobbying, if he will provide an estimate of the amount of time he will need to continue to consider the evidence submitted on the proposed statutory register of lobbyists; what the reasons are for the time taken to consider the evidence thus far; and when he plans to publish the Government's views.

Chloe Smith: As the response to the Government's consultation showed, introducing a Statutory Register of Lobbyists is a complex issue, and it is vitally important that we take the time to get it right. We will publish our proposals in due course.

Disclosure of Information

Jon Trickett: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many civil servants in his Department have been subject to non-disclosure agreements in each year since 2010.

Sajid Javid: The Treasury has used a small number of compromise agreements that have contained confidentiality clauses since 2010. The breakdown of use of these is as follows:
	
		
			  Compromise agreements containing confidentiality clauses 
			 2010 (1)— 
			 2011 (1)— 
			 2012 (1)— 
			 2013 0 
			 (1) Fewer than 5 
		
	
	It is the Treasury's policy not to release full details relating to numbers of staff fewer than five. HM Treasury is a small department and most staff are based in a single building. We consider therefore that disclosing such information would give rise to a risk that named individuals might be readily identified.
	Any confidentiality clause regarding the existence, negotiation and terms of the settlement agreement is qualified and will have referred to certain exceptions including where disclosures are required bylaw. Legal advice is sought on the wording of confidentiality clauses in each instance.

Poverty: Children

Jim Sheridan: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent discussions he has had with child poverty charities on the effects of Budget 2013 on the number of children in poverty.

Sajid Javid: Treasury Ministers engage with a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors, as part of the process of policy development and delivery.
	The Treasury publishes a list of ministerial meetings with external organisations. This is available online at:
	http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/minister_hospitality.htm
	Budget 2013 took action to support families and make the tax and welfare system fairer: including further increasing the income tax personal allowance to take 2.7 million people on low incomes out of tax altogether and cancelling the increase in fuel duty planned for September 2013.
	The Government believes looking at income in isolation is not a helpful measure to track progress towards its target of eradicating child poverty.
	This is why we consulted on better measures of child poverty in November 2012. The consultation closed in February, we are currently considering more than 250 responses to the consultation and will publish our response in the summer.

Railways: North West

John Woodcock: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to the statement of 26 March 2013, Official Report, columns 1487-99, on rail franchising, if he will ensure that the franchise extensions for the TransPennine and Northern franchises will be negotiated on the basis of at least maintaining the current level of service on the Manchester Airport to Lancaster to Barrow-in-Furness route.

Simon Burns: The Secretary of State for Transport has a duty to secure the best deal for both the passenger and the tax payer when negotiating with the incumbent operators. Taking in to consideration value for money and affordability; the primary aim is to ensure that passengers are not adversely impacted and that current service levels are protected as far as possible.

Demonstrations

Nia Griffith: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether she has made a public response to the concerns recently raised by the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, with regards to the use by private companies of civil injunctions, under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, to stop peaceful protests; and what her assessment is of those concerns.

Helen Grant: I have been asked to reply 
	on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
	The Government have not responded to the preliminary conclusions and recommendations regarding the use of civil injunctions made in the press statement issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur, Maina Kiai, on 23 January 2013 at the end of his 10 day official visit to the United Kingdom to assess the situation of the freedoms of peaceful assembly and association in the United Kingdom.
	The Government remains committed to the European Convention on Human Rights and to ensuring these rights continue to be enshrined in UK law, including the rights to' freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, and will carefully consider Mr Kiai's final report when it is published.

Deportation: EU Nationals

Richard Graham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many EU nationals were deported from the UK in each of the last five years.

Mark Harper: The following table provides the total number of enforced removals for nationals of the rest of the EU, in each year from 2008 to 2012:
	
		
			 Enforced removals for nationals of the EU(1), 2008-12 
			  Enforced removals(2,3) 
			 2008 642 
			 2009 768 
			 2010 963 
			 2011(4) 1,293 
			 2012(4) 1,726 
			 (1) Nationals of the rest of the EU consists of 26 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. (2) Enforced removals are where it has been established that a person has breached UK immigration laws and has no valid leave to remain within the United Kingdom. (3) Removals are recorded on the system as at the dates on which the data extracts were taken. (4) Provisional figures. Figures may be revised later due to data cleansing exercises that take place after the extracts are taken. 
		
	
	Deportations contribute to published enforced removals statistics which are either following a criminal conviction (foreign national offenders) or when it is judged that a person's removal from the UK is conducive to the public good; the deportation order prohibits the person returning to the UK until such time as it may be revoked. It is not possible to separately identify deportations from enforced removals.
	The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics on the number of persons removed or departed voluntarily from the UK and on persons refused entry to the United Kingdom within Immigration Statistics. The data on removals and voluntary departures by type are available in the latest release, Immigration Statistics: October-December 2012, tables rv.03 and rv.03.q from the Library of the House and from GOV.UK on the statistics web pages at:
	https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?departmentspercent5Bpercent5D=home-office&publication_filter_option=statistics

Drugs: Misuse

Caroline Lucas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department 
	(1)  what assessment she has made of the recommendations made by the UK Drug Policy Commission in its report, How to Make Drug Policy Better; and if she will make a statement;
	(2)  what assessment she has made of the recommendations made on page 42 of the UK Drug Policy Commission report, How to Make Drug Policy Better, published in December 2012 for analysing and disseminating evidence and for research co-ordination and formal scrutiny of policy.

Jeremy Browne: The Government remains committed to using the best available evidence. In addition to the advice provided by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), we liaise with relevant research councils to encourage the funding of new research. Individual Government Departments take responsibility for gathering the evidence needed to inform their policies, drawing on the specific expertise from within the Departments and from outside. This work is brought together through the cross-government Drug Strategy Research Group.
	Our approach is working. Drug usage remains at its lowest level since measurement began in 1996 and people going into treatment today are more likely to free themselves from dependency than ever before.
	The Government has agreed to undertake an international study to examine different approaches to drug policy in other countries, including Portugal, and we are committed to evaluating the long-term effectiveness and value for money of the Drug Strategy 2010.

Immigrants: English Language

Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what English language training will be made available to leave to remain applicants after 28 October 2013.

Mark Harper: From 28 October 2013, applicants for indefinite leave to remain in the UK or naturalisation as British citizens will be required to pass the Life in the UK test and have an intermediate level English language speaking and listening qualification. Details of the acceptable qualifications are contained in the Statement of Intent “Knowledge of language and life in the UK for settlement and naturalisation”, which was published on 8 April 2013 and is available in the House Library and at:
	https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/knowledge-of-language-and-life-in-the-uk-for-settlement-and-naturalisation-statement-of-intent
	There is a wide range of English language tuition already available within the UK from private and public sector providers. There are no plans to provide additional government-funded tuition.

Solicitors: Fees and Charges

Bob Russell: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will make it his policy to refund in full to local authorities the retrospective demand for repaying of search fees to solicitors which had been charged under the nationally prescribed system set up by his Department.

Helen Grant: The Government is committed to ensuring that all new burdens on local authorities are properly assessed and fully funded by the relevant Department.
	The fee prescribed by the previous Government for a personal search of the local land charges register in England was revoked in August 2010 because it was inconsistent with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. As a result the relevant Government Departments paid an additional grant to all local authorities in England in March 2011 in respect of the new burden of potential claims for restitution of fees paid for this search since from January 2005.
	The Departments have confirmed to the Local Government Association that if compelling new evidence becomes available they would be willing to re-open the relevant element of the new burdens assessment.
	Guidance to Government Departments on the New Burdens Doctrine published by the Department for Communities and Local Government is available at:
	https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-burdens-doctrine-guidance-for-government-departments

Wills

David Morris: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what discussions he has had with the Solicitors Regulation Authority about solicitors or other legal professionals writing themselves into legacies in wills.

Helen Grant: I have not had any discussions with the Solicitors Regulation Authority about solicitors or other legal professionals writing themselves into legacies in wills. Will writing is not a reserved legal activity under the Legal Services Act 2007, although The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, my right hon. Friend the Member for Epsom and Ewell (Chris Grayling), is currently considering a recommendation by the Legal Services Board that it should be brought within this defined group of activities. More generally, solicitors and other legal professionals are subject to the professional standards of their regulator in all their conduct. A solicitor instructed to draft a will on terms that provide for him or her to be a beneficiary should be alert to the possibility of a conflict of interest and ensure that proper standards of client service are observed.

Beko

Barry Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what steps he is taking to ensure the recall of Beko cookers with defects causing them to produce carbon monoxide.

Jo Swinson: The Government has set out the legal framework through the general product safety regulations. It is the legal responsibility of the company making unsafe products available to take appropriate measures to protect the public. Normal procedure, which is being followed in this case, is that the company works with their local authority Trading Standards service to take appropriate agreed action. The general product safety regulations provide Trading Standards with powers to require recalls of products when necessary, including imposing specific requirements, and for the company to take any other action as Trading Standards consider appropriate and proportionate to the risk. Ultimately, the onus is on a company to work effectively with Trading Standards to protect consumers.

Business: Loans

Ann McKechin: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what discussions he has had either orally or in writing with (a) the Scottish Government and (b) Scottish Enterprise regarding the advice services to be offered by the proposed Government Business Bank.

Michael Fallon: holding answer 15 April 2013
	The Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, the right hon. Member for Twickenham (Vince Cable), has not had any such discussions.
	BIS Officials have had discussions with officials in the Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise about our overall plans for the Business Bank.

New Businesses: Young People

William McCrea: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what steps he is taking to increase the number of young entrepreneurs in the UK.

Michael Fallon: The Government is encouraging an entrepreneurial mindset and building ambition in young people through activities in schools, colleges and universities; such as supporting the “Inspiring the Future” initiative, which encourages people from all sectors and professions to work with state schools and colleges to help young people achieve their potential. As part of this initiative we are recruiting 2,500 volunteer enterprise champions to go into schools to talk about their businesses, career choices and the education routes they took, sharing the insights and experiences which can encourage young people to turn their enterprise dreams into reality. We are also supporting the establishment of student enterprise societies in all universities and most further education colleges in England.

Pay

Priti Patel: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what criteria are used in (a) his Department and (b) each public body for which he is responsible to determine which officials receive bonus payments.

Jo Swinson: An element of the BIS overall pay award for staff below the senior civil service (SCS) is allocated to non-consolidated, non-pensionable pay related to performance. The money allocated to performance awards is subject to annual affordability considerations and the eligibility criteria and amounts are subject to annual negotiations with our Trade Unions. There are two types of award:
	1. In-year awards that recognise exceptional contributions to business performance and ways of working made by individuals or teams. For example, demonstrating exceptional flexibility, openness or innovation; delivery of particularly demanding tasks in exceptional circumstances and notable examples of excellent customer service;
	2. Annual performance awards that reward staff based on their performance rating in their annual appraisal.
	These non-consolidated, non pensionable pay awards, are used to drive high performance and have to be earned each year against pre-determined targets and do not add to future pay bills. The payments made for both types of award are entirely related to staff performance.
	Performance awards for the senior civil service (SCS) are part of the pay system across the whole SCS, and are used to reward high performance sustained throughout the year, based on judgments and about how well an individual has performed relative to their peers. The performance-related pay scheme is designed to help drive high performance and support better public service delivery. Performance awards are non-consolidated and non-pensionable and do not add to future paybill costs. The percentage of the pay bill set aside for performance-related awards for the SCS is based on recommendations from the independent senior salaries review body. In year awards are not paid to senior civil servants.
	This Department does not hold centrally the information you request concerning its non-departmental public bodies and it could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Students: Loans

Alan Whitehead: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what the policy of the Student Loans Company is on the provision of course specific software for students with specific learning disabilities.

David Willetts: The Government provides substantial financial help through disabled students’ allowances (DSAs) for English-domiciled students with a disability or long-term health condition, including specific learning difficulties. DSAs are provided in respect of the extra costs a student may incur as a direct result of their disability, so as to enable them to participate in higher education on an equal basis to their peers. DSAs cover a range of support, including assistive software.
	In England, before receiving any support through DSA, eligible students are required to attend a DSA study needs assessment with an independent assessor who will consider and recommend any additional equipment and support that the student might need to enable them to study on their course. Students with specific learning difficulties may receive funding for appropriate software where they have an additional need for this in comparison with students on the same course.

Training: Older People

John Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what steps his Department is taking to provide training for over-50s to increase their employability in (a) Glasgow North West constituency, (b) Glasgow, (c) Scotland and (d) the UK.

Matthew Hancock: Further education and skills is a devolved matter and, as such, I can reply only in respect of England. FE colleges and providers have a single Adult Skills Budget providing them with the flexibility to respond to local learner and employer needs. The Government is continuing to fund basic English and maths courses for adults. Fully funded, targeted training is available for people on jobseeker’s allowance and employment and support allowance in the Work Related Activity Group (and will also be available for universal credit claimants) from day one of their claim, where they have had a skills need identified and the training will help them get into work. At the discretion of the college or training provider fully funded training can be offered to people on other benefits, provided that they have sufficient funds to do so and that they can demonstrate that the training is being provided to help individuals enter or return to work.
	The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) also helps to fund Community Learning through the £210 million pa Community Learning budget, which offers a broad range of courses that bring together adults of different ages and backgrounds to acquire new skills. In 2010/11 the BIS Community Learning budget supported 340,700 people aged over 45, which represented approx 49% of all learners participating in BIS-funded community learning courses.

Burma

Rushanara Ali: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received of the restrictions on Muslim villagers' freedom of movement in Northern Rakhine State in Burma.

Hugo Swire: We continue to receive reports from the UN and non-governmental organisations, including Human Rights Watch, that detail discrimination and human rights abuses faced by the Rohingya in Rakhine State. Rohingya communities continue to face restrictions, including of their freedom of movement, owing to their lack of citizenship rights. The British Government has strongly and consistently lobbied on this issue, and we continue to do so at the highest levels.
	I am the only EU Minister to have visited Rakhine State, having been there in December 2012, where I lobbied the Burmese Government and local authorities to ensure that they guaranteed the security of all communities and looked for a longer term solution to the question of citizenship for the Rohingya. While there, I was able to visit a Muslim community in Sittwe whose movements were seriously restricted. Our ambassador in Rangoon has frequently visited Rakhine State, most recently in February. Our chargé d’affaires most recently lobbied the Burmese Minister for Immigration, with responsibility for Rakhine State, on 8 April, raising with him questions around the long-term plans for the resettlement and reintegration of the displaced communities in Rakhine State.

Colombia

Kerry McCarthy: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent assessment he has made of the level of sexual violence in Colombia; and what recent discussions he has had with the UN Secretary General's Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict about sexual violence in Colombia.

Hugo Swire: The Colombian Government has recognised combating sexual violence as a priority issue and in September launched a National Public Policy for Gender Equality, covering issues such as increased women's participation in political decisions and better services for survivors of sexual violence. Our embassy is working with the Prosecutor-General's office to improve investigation procedures and increase awareness of the services available to survivors.
	Many cases of sexual violence are still in the initial pre-trial stages of investigation. However, there have been high profile prosecutions, including of Lieutenant Raul Munoz, who was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the rape of two girls and the murder of one of the girls and her two brothers.
	We are working closely with the UN Secretary General's Special Representative on sexual violence in conflict, but are not in discussion with her about the situation in Colombia at present. We will review this as necessary and will continue to monitor the situation of sexual violence in Colombia.

Colombia

Kerry McCarthy: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consideration his Department has given to including Colombia as a priority country in the preventing sexual violence initiative; and what assistance the Government is providing to prevent sexual violence in Colombia and improve access to justice for victims.

Hugo Swire: Colombia is not currently a priority country for the deployment of UK experts as part of the preventing sexual violence initiative (PSVI). Resources are limited and we have not been able to focus on every country where sexual violence is a problem. However, the PSVI team and our embassy in Bogota will continue to monitor areas of conflict, and if the situation in Colombia deteriorates, we would review this prioritisation. In the meantime, officials are looking into how the PSVI objectives can be incorporated into our existing human rights work in Colombia.
	The embassy is currently working with the Prosecutor-General's office to improve investigations into sexual violence outside armed conflict, and to raise awareness of support services available for survivors. The embassy is also encouraging civil society organisations to put forward proposals for projects to protect women's rights and tackle sexual violence, which is one of our human rights priorities for 2013. The embassy will continue to monitor the situation of sexual violence in Colombia.

India

Rushanara Ali: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with his Indian counterpart on the criminalisation and inclusion of rape committed by a man on his wife when she is over 15 years of age in the new Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013 recently passed by that country's parliament.

Hugo Swire: The Government regularly raises human rights concerns with India, including cases of sexual violence and discrimination, both bilaterally and through the EU-India Human Rights Dialogue.
	During my visit to India on 21-22 March, I also discussed the issue of sexual violence and discrimination with Indian human rights organisations. I have not to date discussed the new Criminal Law Bill with my Indian counterpart.

Macedonia

Karen Lumley: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next plans to visit Macedonia.

David Lidington: Neither the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague), nor I currently have firm plans to visit Macedonia.
	The Government continues to support Macedonia’s EU accession and to provide assistance to its ongoing reform effort through, among other things, training and expertise sharing.

Visits Abroad

Nigel Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many overseas visits have been made by Ministers of his Department to support trade and investment in each year since 2010.

Hugo Swire: The Government are fully committed to supporting trade and investment. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) Charter for Business sets out how the FCO supports UK business overseas and how the FCO is working to help deliver success for the UK's economy.
	Foreign Office Ministers have a varied programme when they travel overseas. To collate all the information for the period since 2010 would be possible only at disproportionate cost.
	However, to give a flavour of the level of engagement by Ministers, there have been 49 countries visited between January and March 2013 which have involved a programme supporting trade and investment work. This number includes all Foreign and Commonwealth Office Ministers, including my noble Friend, the Minister of State for Trade and Investment, Lord Green.
	Details of all overseas visits undertaken by Ministers are published on a quarterly basis on the GOV.UK website.
	https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministerial-quarterly-returns-hospitality-gifts-overseas-travel-and-meetings-with-external-organisations
	The information includes the name, date, destination, purpose of the visit and cost by each Minister.

Health Services: Bulgarian and Romanian Migrants

Mark Pritchard: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with the European Commission on limiting access to health services for Bulgarian and Romanian migrants from January 2014.

Daniel Poulter: We have not discussed this subject with the European Commission.
	The Minister for Employment, my hon. Friend the Member for Fareham (Mr Hoban), had a constructive discussion on the benefit measures outlined in the Prime Minister's speech on immigration with Laszlo Andor from the Commission on 25 March 2013.
	We will be consulting on proposals for national health service access this summer. We will discuss with the Commission any which might impact on European Economic Area citizens.

Food: Inspections

Barry Gardiner: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many food samples were taken in (a) 2011-12 and (b) 2012-13 to date for (i) food hygiene and (ii) food standards purposes.

Anna Soubry: The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is involved in a range of food sampling carried out each year under a range of national and European Union food legislation. The various areas of testing and number of samples taken are set out in the annual reports of the Implementation of the UK National Control Plan since 2007.
	The FSA also commissions regular surveys of foods to help to protect and inform consumers by alerting the agency to potential food safety issues. The surveys help to judge the effectiveness of regulation and inform negotiations with the European Commission, monitor trends and assess risks. These surveys can also be found on the FSA website.
	Local authorities report on food sampling activity in their annual food law enforcement monitoring returns to the FSA. In 2011-12, the total number of samples taken by local authorities across the United Kingdom was 78,653 and 92,181 analyses were carried out on these samples. The total sample figure cannot be split between food hygiene (FH) and food standards (FS) issues as an individual sample may be subjected to tests for both. The breakdown by analyses is shown in the following table.
	
		
			  Number 
			 Microbiological contamination (FH) 55,546 
			 Other contamination (FH/FS) 4,432 
			 Composition (FS) 18,219 
			 Labelling and Presentation (FS) 11,879 
			 Others (FH/FS) 2,105 
		
	
	Data on 2012-13 food sampling activity by local authorities is not currently available.

Kidneys: Diseases

Yasmin Qureshi: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many of the recommendations made in the report Acute Kidney Injury: Adding Insult to Injury published in 2009 by the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death have been addressed.

Anna Soubry: The report “Acute Kidney Injury: Adding Insult to Injury”, published in 2009 by the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCPOD), made a number of recommendations to improve the clinical care of people with acute kidney injury (AKI). In response to the report; the Department asked the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to provide definitive clinical guidance in this area. The NCPOD recommendations have informed the development of the guidance, the draft of which is currently out for consultation until 29 April 2013 and can be viewed on the NICE website
	www.nice.org.uk
	by typing ‘acute kidney injury into the search bar’. It is anticipated that the final guidance will be published in August 2013.
	More generally, since the publication of the NCPOD report, the Department has undertaken a range of actions to support improved care for people with AKI. These have included developing multiprofessional e-learning packages for fluid management and AKI prevention; establishing regional networks for AKI to support integrated care for AKI patients and to share expertise and resources; working with the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges to develop a multiprofessional skills and competency programme for fluid management; and establishing an AKI delivery group with the key stakeholders in acute care.
	NHS Kidney Care (NHS KC), the kidney diseases improvement body, launched the Hydration Matters campaign in June 2012 to highlight the importance of good fluid management in order to improve care for acutely unwell patients and reduce the risk of kidney damage.
	Between August 2012 and January 2013, NHS KC also piloted an audit of stage 3 AKI (kidney failure) incidence and outcomes at 47 NHS trusts. The publication of comparative information will allow organisations to benchmark their performance against one another and to identify and share good practice. We anticipate the audit findings will be made available in May 2013.
	In November 2012, with the support of NHS KC, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh convened a United Kingdom wide meeting at which a consensus statement on how to improve the diagnosis and management of AKI was agreed. The statement can be read on the Royal College of Physicians website
	www.rcpe.ac.uk
	by typing 'acute kidney injury consensus statement' into the search bar.

NHS: Innovation

Andrew Gwynne: To ask the Secretary of State for Health when the next set of high impact innovations will be identified as part of the Innovation, Health and Wealth implementation programme.

Daniel Poulter: NHS England is currently considering which innovations may constitute the next set of High Impact Innovations that will be a Prequalification Gateway for Commissioning for Quality and Innovation payments in 2014.
	A catalogue of potential innovations aligned to the five domains of the NHS Outcomes Framework was launched at the Innovation EXPO 2013.
	This catalogue lists a collection of ideas gathered as part of ongoing horizon scanning, aimed at identifying emerging innovative thinking in healthcare that may have the potential to form future programmes of work.
	A copy has been placed in the Library and is available on the following website:
	https://innovault.innovation.nhs.uk/pg/dashboard

Sepsis

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Health 
	(1)  which Minister in his Department is responsible for the performance of the NHS in the (a) diagnosis and (b) treatment of sepsis;
	(2)  what his Department's policy is on measures to ensure that (a) diagnosis of and (b) death from sepsis is accurately recorded by NHS trusts; and if he will make a statement.

Daniel Poulter: As Under-Secretary of State for Health, I am the Minister responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis, in terms of patient safety. The Under-Secretary of State, my right hon. and noble Friend, Earl Howe, is the Minister responsible for national health service performance matters.
	The recording of data related to sepsis by national health service trusts has to comply with World Health Organisation (WHO) coding. The WHO changed the terminology used in January 2010, to refer to sepsis rather than septicaemia and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports will, in future, show sepsis under their categories, rather than septicaemia. This should enable a more accurate reflection of the position.
	In relation to the collection of data itself, although ONS use mandatory death certification to develop data on mortality, the description of the cause of death is a matter for local clinical judgment. As part of the Death Certification Reforms, the Department will be consulting shortly on new guidance to doctors for completing Medical Certificates of Cause of Death.
	Officials are exploring with the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and Health Education England how best to strengthen arrangements for sepsis training and give greater prominence to the importance of early detection and treatment of sepsis.

Suicide

William McCrea: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has held with the devolved Administrations on suicide prevention.

Norman Lamb: The Government is working with the devolved Administrations to share evidence on suicide prevention and effective interventions. A five nations official level joint working forum facilitates the sharing of best practice between the nations and enhances co-operation on mutually beneficial areas of work.

Wind Power: Lyme Bay

Tobias Ellwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what consideration he has given to the use of any part of Lyme Bay as an offshore wind farm; and if he will make a statement.

Gregory Barker: The Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, the right hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Mr Davey), has given no consideration to the use of Lyme Bay as a possible location for an offshore wind farm. If such a development proposal is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate it will fall to the Department in due course to consider the Planning Inspectorate’s recommendation alongside all other representations received.

Cabinet Committees

Tom Watson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proportion of meetings of the Home Affairs Cabinet Committee he has attended in the last 12 months.

Elizabeth Truss: The Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), prioritises attendance at Cabinet Committees. Information about the proceedings of Cabinet Committees is not routinely disclosed.

Child Minding

David Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for Education what estimate he has made of the number of childminders active in (a) England and Wales, (b) Suffolk and (c) Bury St Edmunds constituency in each quarter of each of the last three years.

Elizabeth Truss: This question is a matter for Ofsted. HM Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, has written to the hon. Member, and a copy of his response has been placed in the House Libraries. The response covers the information requested for England only, as this is where the Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), responsibility lies.

Overtime

Tom Watson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education what the average cost in overtime payments was per member of staff in his ministerial private office in the most recent year for which figures are available.

Elizabeth Truss: Average expenditure on overtime for the private ministerial office of the Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), in the last financial year (from 1 March 2012 to 28 February 2013) was £4,956 per official.

Pupils: Disadvantaged

Diana Johnson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many children in Kingston upon Hull North constituency qualify for the pupil premium; and how much has been transferred to each school in Kingston upon Hull North under the pupil premium in each of the last two financial years.

David Laws: holding answer 12 March 2013
	The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011. Pupil Premium funding is provided to schools which have on roll pupils known to be eligible for free school meals (the Deprivation Premium); children in care who have been continuously looked after for at least six months (the Looked After Child Premium); and children whose parents are serving in the armed forces (the Service Child Premium).
	In the financial year 2011-12, 3,340 pupils attending schools in Kingston upon Hull North constituency area were eligible for the Deprivation Premium or Service Child Premium, attracting £1.623 million. It is not possible to identify, at constituency level, the number of pupils eligible for the Looked After Child Premium or the number of pupils eligible for the Deprivation Premium in Alternative Provision settings.
	In the financial year 2012-13, eligibility for the Pupil Premium was extended to include those eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years. This had the effect of increasing the number of pupils in Kingston upon Hull North constituency eligible for the Deprivation Premium or Service Child Premium to 4,680, attracting £2.906 million.
	In 2013-14, total Pupil Premium funding will rise from £1.25 billion to £1.875 billion per year. This will enable the level of funding for the Deprivation and Looked After Child Premium to increase to £900 per pupil and the Service Child Premium to increase to £300 per pupil. Final allocations for 2013-14 are not yet available. Illustrative Pupil Premium allocations using January 2012 pupil numbers show that Kingston upon Hull North constituency will receive approximately £4.196 million of Pupil Premium funding in 2013-14 for 4,680 eligible pupils. Final allocations for 2013-14 based on 2013 pupil numbers will be published in the autumn.
	A breakdown of Kingston upon Hull North constituency school allocations for the financial years 2011-12, 2012-13 and illustrative allocations for 2013-14 are provided in Annex A.

Pupils: Disadvantaged

David Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for Education how much schools in (a) Suffolk, (b) Bury St Edmunds constituency and (c) England received in funding from the pupil premium in (i) 2010-11 and (ii) 2011-12; and how much such schools are expected to receive in 2012-13.

David Laws: The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011.
